The 25 Under 25 Film Fest is a two-day film festival in San Luis Obispo that is dedicated to giving young California filmmakers a platform to show their work. The festival will highlight filmmakers under the age of 25 that are making films less than 25 minutes long.

We are looking for young filmmakers to submit films to be considered for the festival. If your film is selected, each filmmaker will receive 2 two-day passes to the festival (2 filmmakers per film). Each filmmaker will receive lodging and food for the two-day festival, and will be housed at a log cabin campsite in Avila Beach, a short 10 minutes from San Luis Obispo. Additionally, we have a jury that will be giving out $2,500 in cash prizes to the top three films in the fest.

We serve to create a larger platform for up-and-coming filmmakers by highlighting films by these young people that will be making up the film industry for decades to come. We aim to produce an environment that encourages youth art, innovative ideas, and lasting connections between young filmmakers.
